## About

```text
At TamilNadu Agricultural University, I researched soil quality at tannery-contaminated sites in Ranipet District. I developed GIS-based soil quality maps and used ArcGIS with the IDW technique to visualize soil quality variations.

My research on chromium from tannery operations was published in Environmental Geochemistry and Health in 2025. I also studied low-cost hydroponic structures and the production of vegetables and microgreens.
